Greetings From The UK

Hi All,

My name is Olly and live in Norfolk in the UK, perfect green lane country!

Just picked myself up a dry-store Hongdou GY200 that had never been road registered with 5 miles on the clock. Had a few issues registering it which I am hoping I can get some help with on here, but she's now on the road and doing well.

Bought her as a stablemate to my VFR800Fi, so she can stay tucked up over winter.

Looking forward to talking to you all, pics below as I know they are a MUST! LOL!

Cool bikes! I love the headlight design on the red GY.

Glad you found us!

Welcome!

X2 on the headlight; was it shipped in that colour?

Love the single sided swingarm on the VFR. Nice bike. 8)

I'd not seen a GY with that headlight before, I like it.

I very much miss my 1999 VFR800. That was the best of the series of the VRF's. After that generation they went downhill, and are now extinct. The new 1200 is more of a Gold Wing than a Viffer.

Enjoy, thanks for the pics, and welcome to the forum!

Thanks all!

Yup, the headlight came shipped that colour. I got it off a UK seller but here is a link to the one's in Hong Kong (easyer to ship to the US?).

If you search for the exact description in eBay it will show you the other colours, red, white, blue, etc.

Welcome to these forums, Olly! We are very glad you joined us. Both of your bikes look great! I also like the headlight on your Hongdou GY200.
